Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home - Rupert Sheldrake

Many people who have ever owned a pet will swear that their dog or cat or other animal has exhibited some kind of behaviour they just can''t explain. How does a dog know when its owner is returning home at an unexpected time?Filled with captivating stories and thought-provoking analysis, Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home is a groundbreaking exploration of animal behaviour that will profoundly change the way we think about animals, and ourselves. After five years of extensive research involving thousands of people who own and work with animals, Rupert Sheldrake conclusively proves what many pet owners already know - that there is a strong connection between humans and animals that lies beyond present-day scientific understanding.

The Science Delusion: Freeing the Spirit of Enquiry - Rupert Sheldrake

The Science Delusion is the belief that science already understands the nature of reality. The fundamental questions are answered, leaving only the details to be filled in. In this book (published in the US as Science Set Free), Dr Rupert Sheldrake, one of the world's most innovative scientists, shows that science is being constricted by assumptions that have hardened into dogmas.The 'scientific worldview' has become a belief system. All reality is material or physical. The world is a machine, made up of dead matter.Nature is purposeless. Consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain. Free will is an illusion.God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls. Sheldrake examines these dogmas scientifically, and shows persuasively that science would be better off without them: freer, more interesting, and more fun. In The God Delusion Richard Dawkins used science to bash God, but here Rupert Sheldrake shows that Dawkins' understanding of what science can do is old-fashioned and itself a delusion.

Mylné domněnky vědy - Rupert Sheldrake

Nejmylnější domněnkou vědy je názor, že věda již pochopila podstatu reality - že základní otázky jsou už zodpovězeny a nyní zbývá pouze dořešit detaily. V této knize vám Rupert Sheldrake, jenden z nejvíce průkopnických vědců současnosti, názorně ukáže, že věda je spoutaná domněnkami, které se změnily v dogmata. "Vědecký pohled na svět" se stal souborem pouhých domněnek a vírou. Veškerá realita je podle něj hmotná či fyzikální a svět je strojem, jenž je tvořen neživou hmotou. Příroda dle tohoto pohledu postrádá jakýkoli smysl a vědomí není ničím víc, než pouhou fyzickou aktivitou mozku. Svobodná vůle je iluzí a bůh existuje jenom jako představa v lidské mysli, uvězněn v naší lebce. Rupert Sheldrake vědecky prozkoumává tato dogmata a předkládá přesvědčivé důkazy, že vědě by se dařilo lépe bez nich - byla by svobodnější, zajímavější a zábavnější.

The Evolutionary Mind - Rupert Sheldrake, Terence McKenna, Ralph Abraham

Stimulating and often startling discussions between three friends, all highly original thinkers: Rupert Sheldrake, controversial biologist, Terence McKenna , psychedelic visionary, and Ralph Abraham , chaos mathematician. Their passion is to break out of paradigms that retard our evolution and to explore new possibilities. Through challenge and synergy they venture where few have gone before, leading their readers on an exciting journey of discovery. Their discussions focus on the evolution of the mind, the role of psychedelics, skepticism, the psychic powers of animals, the structure of time, the life of the heavens, the nature of God, and transformations of consciousness.“Three fine thinkers take us plunging into the universe of chaos, mind, and spirit. Instead of leaving us lost, they bring us back with startling insights and more wonder than we knew we had.” —Matthew Fox, Original Blessing and Sheer Joy"A jam-session of the mind, an intellectual movable feast, an on-going conversation that began over twenty years ago and remains as lively and relevant today as it ever was.

The Art of Coming Home - Craig Storti

Updated 2nd edition! If you were lucky, you knew about and were prepared for culture shock when you moved overseas, but unless you are very lucky, you probably don’t know about and are not prepared for reverse culture shock.

He also addresses in detail the special issues faced by exchange students, international development volunteers, and military and missionary personnel and their families.If you’re about to relocate abroad, are already living abroad, about to come home, or already home, this book walks you through the biggest adjustments, personal and professional, and in this new edition presents a complete do-it-yourself repatriation workshop to help you identify and address your individual readjustment issues.

It is difficult to imagine any reader putting this beguiling book down without a smile and a tear.’ New York TimesIn June 1773, King George III attended a grand celebration of his reign over the greatest, richest empire since ancient Rome. Less than two years later, Britain’s bright future turned dark: after a series of provocations, the king’s soldiers took up arms against his rebellious colonies in America. The war would last eight years, and though at least one in ten of the Americans who fought for independence would die for that cause, the prize was valuable beyond measure: freedom from oppression and the creation of a new republic.Rick Atkinson, author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning An Army at Dawn and two other superb books about the Second World War has long been admired for his unparalleled ability to write deeply researched, stunningly vivid narrative history.

The call of the wild has never looked as stylish as in these homes nestled in the French countryside, crafted by families pursuing a new form of country living.A manor next to an elegant seventeenth-century castle in a picturesque village, a restored four-hundred-year-old windmill, or a ruin in the Barbizon forest transformed into a contemporary timber house--our trio of authors saw the potential in these rural homes and took the leap into a life rhythmed by nature.

Dogs Like Us - John Holder

People often chose a dog that resembles themselves, consciously or unconsciously. Even scientific experiments have proved it. For example, you rarely find a Hell’s Angel with a bichon frisé, or a sweet little old lady with a bulldog. A gentle quiet academic wouldn’t normally chose a boisterous border collie, nor would an energetic teenager chose a basset hound.Our beloved dogs are rather like our choice of car or the clothes we wear. The science writer David Robson says, ‘The canine mini-me reveals a narcissistic tendency in us all.’In these humorous, colourful illustrations of doppelgänger dogs, artist John Holder has depicted a superb, visually entertaining collection of dogs and their owners in all their lookalike glory. A treat for dog owners everywhere.
